What is Esports?

Put simply Esports is a term used to describe competitive video gaming. It’s different from standard video gaming in that esports is organised competitive gaming, like traditional sports.

For example, League of Legends pits five players against another five in a virtual battle arena to destroy each other’s base each playing their own unique role like a Half-Back or Center. Whereas in First-Person Shooters, Valorant, players are pit against each other in various modes to complete an objective.

Think of esports as competitive video gaming where skill and professionalism is celebrated. The pro gamers who play at this level know the games inside out, much like a professional footballer or athlete would in their respective fields.
